What I found most odd about the Lazar interview was that if you contrast it with the Robert Bigelow interview you see that Rogan is totally capable of being highly skeptical with his kooky guests and willing to hold their feet to the fire.
The fact that he didn't with Lazar but did with Bigelow indicates to me that he favours Lazar, and considers his story to be genuine, and that kind of bias is detrimental to the interview process.
Rogan has addressed this since then saying basically he doesn't know if Bob is full of shit but knows that he (Rogan) wants to believe in aliens so much that sometimes he goes lighter than he should.
